The layout is based on Anni Downs' Daisy Quilt from 'Some Kind of Wonderful'.
I knew that I did not want to cut the print into small pieces as that would then lose the fun of the design - so this layout seemed like an ideal solution. I cut frour strips out of the fabric and 'fussy cut' them to length. I have a narrow strip left which will make squares for my Scrap Therapy box.
Looking forward to quilting this - I plan to enlarge one or two of the birds from the print to use in my quilting.
I forgot about this orchid yesterday. It is a Lizard Orchid.
Not the prettiest orchid or most colourful, but at over two feet tall it is impressive!
Wishing you all a very good weekend.

I would like to see orchid growing in the garden. But it's impossible here. It's not warm enough. Are they perennial or annual plants? They are so beautiful! Lucky gardener!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week-end!
It`s very nice.Have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeletewell done on your finished top.
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic orchid, can't believe they are just growing randomly.
I love that print of yours, and I agree with you, not to cut it into small pieces, it is so cute. Your dyed fabric is perfect to go with it. Beautiful orchid mmmmm
ReplyDeleteHi Lin, I have missed so much, time to catch up. From your previous posts, I love the sewing bag and pincushion and the kaftan is fabulous, such beautiful fabric. The orchids are lovely. And, a perfect layout for you new project. The fabric blends so nicely together. You have been busy!
ReplyDeleteHello Lin,
ReplyDeleteI really LIKE your quilt! What a great idea to showcase the neat fabric like you did. I have a smile on my face after seeing that fabric with the whimsical birds and butterflies on it. I love it. I had no idea that orchids could grow so tall! That's quite impressive.
Enjoy your day,
Judy
